Boating Lifestyle
It's the lift of the bow to the swell as she clears the harbour
It's the sparkle of the sun on the myriad of cat's paws
It's the boom of the sail as she bears off
It's the rumble of the diesels under way
The smell of coffee on a diesel stove
The clean smell of the salt air
The wind on your cheek
It's slotting into anchor amongst others in a quiet cove
It's kissing the dock in a crosswind (and they're watching)
It's feeling your way on a foggy shore
It's when your DR matches the Fix
The chatter of the bow wave
The straight wake
The sunset
It's being the inside boat on a raftup of old friends
It's the smell of warm bread in the cabin of new friends
It's the laughter of children plunging off the rail
It's taking the dog ashore
The clack of the raven
The soar of the raptor
The breath of the whale
It's the rumble of the diesel warming while you plan the day
It's having to move when the tug came to move the boom
It's curled in a warm cabin and blowing 40 outside the cove
It's the sound of the rain on the deck
The turn of the tide
The run down wind
The harbour home
